Dre - You may know Adam Schein is the marquee guy on the NFL Radio network from 11-3 pm est. He is considered their biggest star and pretty accurate. He has a history in Syracuse years ago but does not play favorites in that he will rip on just about any team.

omg this season cannot start any faster. Wait til Chan and Fitzy have a game plan, and have a running game like they didn't even try in the preseason except a little in the third game.
Everyone needs to stop worrrying, and if they suck in the latter part of the season, no argument.

Kelly the Dog is right. Yes, we want to open it up and go deep, and yes we should pound the ball at least 30-35 times per game with Freddy and CJ. This will depend on this mammouth line getting a push on D Lines like the 49ers. I really believe we will look much better in week 1 against the Jets when we have game planned and schemed for them, and then bring on the Chiefs.
Also, as stated before the Defense is where we needed to improve so much more then the offensive problems. We gave up 6000+ yard last year. If our D Line against a much better O Line in the Steelers (the analysts projected with newer additions in last two years the steelers would have an excellent o line) continues to push way back and we didn't even have Anderson out there, we are going to improve. Yes, our guys got gassed before the half, but they can get better rotatiosn in there so all of them don't come out at once.
Bottom line is the sky is not falling, and we are not necessarily going to be terrible. Just wait before you blast the team. We could come out and win the first three off the bat, and then our first huge test in the Patriots. I was so encouraged to see how bad the o line looks for the patriots. so does the jets o line. If this holds true, we could get a nice start to the season. That o line for the cheatriots made the Bucs d line look like the Giants.
Go Bills!

Why do you guys think we are trying out a kicker to give us better field position, better pass rush to give us better field position, which tells me we are doing everything we can until we have more draft picks in the next two years to win now.
We need another top athletic TE, Top WR, and then work on the LB. Until then and maybe a QB, we are doing what Chan does to try and win. I applaud him as he is being as creative as possible, hiring a QB coach guru, etc. This is not a flaw on Chan and Nix. It is they were served a sh*t sandwhich from a decade of crap, and trying to find the best ways possible to make it work.
Be patient guys as I am betting as good as Fisher is as a coach, he's not going to do much at St Louis this year or next year, but if you give him time, will create an excellent team.

Nice catch David!

This d Line is looking more like what we thought. I'm in heaven. Keep it up boys.

I can see it now, it's first and 10, two tight end set, Brady goes back to pass and POW, SUPER MARIO WILLIAMS slams Brady to the ground. Now, second and 17 and the Patriots are in the spread formation with Lloyd out to the left. Brady drops back to pass, noone open, Brady steps up to avoid the rush, and WAIT, MARCEL DARIUS, breaks through on the bull rush and drags Brady to the gound. Wow, he's going to feel that tomorrow.
ok a man can dream! Hehe.

I agree with the Modrak comments, and yes the undrafted free agents shows who Nix is in talent acquisition. I still can't believe we could've had Gronkowski. It's even worse he's a hometown boy.
With that said, Nix is doing a hell of a job as building a team. What makes me nervous is Ralph passes and someone blows up the team again which is why we had problems for 12 years. We need stability, spend wisely, and watch the Bills continue to get better.
-
This thread was killing me. Now wait til Tommy boy goes up against the SF 49er bullies. They are going to beat on him beat on him and oh yeah beat on him. Especially as the Patsies don't have the O Line from last year.
I agree with a previous thread Marcel and Kyle have already shown they are the real deal, but Mario, and Mark need to show why we paid them "One Billion Dollars"
-
pup just as insurance if dawn or Spencer gets hurt then practice squad. Let's move on.
-
He'll be fine. Remember in the old days everyone would say a tackle can't start to look decent for a couple of years. He'll make mistakes, but great depth for our team.
We need amazing line play on both sides. Eveyone will look good including Fitz, and CB on both sides when the front is a dominating force. Can't wait.
Go Bills!
-
So anyone want to predict the sack count, and pressures now for Game 1? HEHE. Can't wait. I know we have our problems, but I see us hammering finally the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets.
-
One last thing. Mike in Syracuse. Your comments on this thread and the other is right on the money. Well said regarding the run.
-
Guys, lets stop the bantering as I think all of you guys are better than that. I know a bunch of us are unimpressed with a lot for two games, but there are a lot of reasons for the issues.
The things that make me smile:
Ron Brooks could have been an excellent pick
The D Line will be fine when it counts
Fast Feddy will be fine when he actually gets 20-25 carries a game. Just watch how the offense looks better.
I like Stephon. He doesn't have to be a sexy pick. Just keep them from catching it, block on running plays, etc.
I don't worry at all about Byrd and George.
What concerns me and hope it is just because fo preseason, ya da ya da ya da:
The WR timing is horrible, but not so much b/c of Fitzy as his accuracy looks better. These routs need to be run better, and better separation.
I'm really worried we needed that breakout WR to match Stevie, and we don't have it.
We are early, but not our O Line is not giving enough time. We applauded ourselves last year on sacks, but that is b/c Gailey knew it and drew up short timing routs. The problem is good teams go press coverage and then we're screwed which was obvious.
I could keep going, but as many of you stated it's early and we just don't know. I'm not running down the hall with my hair on fire. Neither should anyone else. Just let it play out. There is more than enough time to bash our team in November if they didn't grow.
Last comment. It was so much fun listening to NFL radio today, and the beat reporter for the Jets was announcing, our RT needs to get better as Mario is out there waiting, looming for week 1. I love it. Now let's make it happen and put Sanchez and Baby Jesus in the dirt 10 times in week 1. (I'm not against Tebow, just sick of the hype)
-
I say we flip the line with the LB's the safeties with the CB or better yet, let's have the WR play CB.
This is why I hate how my vote in elections is cancelled out by people who just listen to a snip it ad and have an opinion. Thanks for the intelligent opinions thereafter.
-
Agreed. Drew Brees!
-
Mike:
Thanks for the post. I agree there were a lot positives from above mentioned threads regarding Brooks, etc. I'm hoping these scrimmages help develop the timing of Fitzy to his WR as that concerns me, but not as worried on the D. We also have again no scheming, and no running for the most part. Once we set loose Freddy and CJ where appropriate, we'll see more things open for our passing game. TJ really impresses me that he may be what we needed.
-
I've been nothing but impressed so far. It will be especially advantagous that we have young, physical corners with a lack of experience the year we will have such a pass rush, that they may only have to cover for one to 1.5 seconds less.
Championship!!
-
The main difference is is this the era of free agency in it's current form. That old school ended when we didn't m,ake it. The larger concern for our team is we lost Polian, and then Butler who was fantastic, but not Polian with a long term vision (God Bless his soul).
Our FO as I've said many times has been our achilles heel. Why? When you have great FO leadership, you hire well, pick top talent, and are smart enough to an excellent head coach.
We've been in the desert for years. Don't lose sight of a great FO now. I know it takes years for that to be realized on the field, but I'm so hopeful in ralph's sunset he allows these good football men to bring him and his family a championship.
It can hsppen guys in the next three years. Noone in New Orleans would have believed that in 2004.
Go Bills

ok - quick question. Look at Anderson and Super Mario, hell Merriman, and Kelsey, now think about $%^^%$$ maybin at a whopping 245 lbs at wait a minute, Defensive End and tell me he is going to be any kind of threat.
Hell, I think Moorman could block him as smart and fast as he is at times.
I just love these JETS moves. Please keep going with Maybin, Tebow, new draft picks, and yes our best ally, Sanchez. Here's yo watching foot fettish loose this year.

The decision on 3-4 was a mistake, and looking back they probably didn't know what they had in Freddy when picking Spiller. That was a miss not because he's a bad player, but you don't pick a RB at 8 in the first round.
Hindsight is 20/20 but Troup could have been Gronkowski. That said, the previous posts said it on so many gold pick ups on the cheap. I do think it takes 3-5 years to create a real solid winning team for many years as we had squat for talent.
They are on the path so if we hit the wild card with a 10-11 winning game season, and then now can refine next year. Imagine we win 11 games and one playoff game. We are all happy. Now next FA and draft time, we resign our o line in question, and pick up a solid #1 WR opposite Stevie, a TE, LB, Safety as George isn't getting younger as much as I love the guy, and another CB. That is doable as we are still in good cap shape.
We're about to go on a run with a winning team we haven't had in a loonngg time. Whaley is the perfect back fill to Nix in two years, and Chan gets a team he keeps refining over time into a well oiled machine.
One of the reasons why the Steelers, Ravens, Giants, and Patriots are as good as they are is they don't blow up the plan every three years. We finally have a good FO (our biggest deficit in the last 12 years), and can give Chan time to make his team great. I also hope we pay Wanny enough to stay for years and create the early 90's Cowboys defense.

Absolutely. My god I remember how sick to my stomach I was that day. I know he is going to dela with medical issues his whole life, but what a fighter to make it walking again, and functioning with his family.
I hope he comes back to Buffalo when he's ready for a game, training camp, etc. He's d be awesome at the rookie symposium for the NFL talking about how precious their opportunities are and don't squander it.
Lastly, I'm so glad to see the NFL and Buffalo helped to get him the max in his retirement, as he may have escalating medical needs down the road if he still has issues with numbness, seizures, and nausea.
Thanks to all who came up with these posts.

I'm so sorry for Coach Andy. He's been a good coach for quite some time, and but moreso a decent person from all accounts. No dad should ever have to bury his son.
I know we'll say prayers for his family. I hope he takes some time to grieve. He's earned it and has a good coaching staff that can handle training camp for a week or so.
RIP.

Thanks guys. Living in Florida I rely on your eyes and posts to hear what is happening out there. The beat reporters are fine, but your observations are excellent.
i've thought the same thing about Merriman's size. He'll be relief for Anderson, and can see Kelsey giving some relief to Super Mario.

I watched hom on the Bucs for years and the injuries to his legs are overblown. He didn't miss significant game time the last two years. The reason not to take him is he had a bad attitude, and Schiano wanted to make a statement he expects a certain attitude of team first in the locker room. unless Chan and Buddy think they can change that attitude, (I doubt it) pass on him.
It's too bad as he is talented and was one of the main targets for Freeman. He would do well with a great attitude with the Bills opposite Chandler.
